The Honor Play is a phone, built for high performance on a budget. The best part is that the phone falls in the mid-range price tag while also providing state of the art specifications. The Honor Play was revealed in Pakistan on the 21st of August 2018, coming as a perfect gift for Eid Ul Adha.

Design
The Honor Play has a different look from other Honor phones thanks to the full-metal unibody design. The Honor Play’s curved edges and metallic frame gave me a good grip on the device, something that is quite needed for a phone that is centered around gaming.
The back of the phone hosts a dual-camera setup and a fingerprint sensor. On the bottom, a headphone jack, a mono-speaker and a USB Type-C port are placed. The front of the phone resembles the Honor 10 with a notch on top.

The processor’s AI features are also used for vibration feedback based on a game’s real-time imagery and audio, as well as simulating 3D surround sound. This is all said to work on the latest, biggest mobile games, including PUBG.
